Leases [Abstract]

Operating Leases

5.  Operating Leases

We have non-cancelable leases with third parties, primarily for administrative and manufacturing space, vehicles and equipment. Our facilities leases generally provide for periodic rent increases and many contain renewal options.  We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Rental expense under such operating leases at our continuing operations was $0.5 million, $0.6 million, and $0.8 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in either selling, general and administrative expenses or cost of goods sold, depending on the nature of the item under lease.

As of September 30, 2019, future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more at our continuing operations are as follows, in thousands:
